Just moments before kick-off in several important Premier League fixtures, every one preceded by remembrance ceremonies.
The Tyneside club performed dreadful in their previous match against the Hammers, according to Eddie Howe recently stated in his before the game comments. “We must deliver a performance different. The match against the London club proved difficult for us. Hopefully, we have learned plenty. At this point we need to begin earning results.”
Regarding the winger: “He wasn’t fit enough in the end. Medical imaging showed a minor problem with his hip and it’s a good chance for Harvey to come in.”
Still no Chris Wood from the Forest lineup, while Matz Sels, the defender, Anderson and the attacker are back.
The German forward replaces the struggling Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who struggled at Brighton in the previous round.
Adam Wharton is back in the Palace lineup although there will be an absence of Marc Guéhi for Crystal Palace. Brighton select an unchanged starting eleven which defeated the Yorkshire side in their last outing.
The Palace manager says regarding their defender “is suffering from a bone bruise, he requires crutches and he can’t even move freely. At the moment it appears he will not play with the national team next week either.”
The talented winger is carrying a fitness issue so misses out from the Newcastle team, Jacob Murphy, who has performed well, steps into the lineup.
